Cyclopedia of American horticulture : comprising suggestions for cultivation of horticultural plants, descriptions of the species of fruits, vegetables, flowers, and ornamental plants sold in the United States and Canada, together with geographical and biographical sketches cyclopediaofame02bail Year: 1906 1147. The cabbaee butterfly. plete metamorphosis pass through three different forms during their life: an egg, the young or nymph stage, and the aditlt. From the eggs of butterflies, moths, flies, beetles, bees and some other Insects, there hatches a worm-like creature, much unlike the parent Insect. It is called a larva (Fig. 1139); the larvae of butterflies and moths are often called caterpillars (Fig. 1140); maggots are the larva' of flies (Fig. 1141); and the term gnib is applied to the larvfe of beetles and bees (Fig. 1142). When these larvie get their full growth, some of them go into the ground, where they form an earthen cell, while others proceed to spin around themselves a silken home or cocoon (Figs. 1143, 1144, 1145). In these retreats the larvae change to a quiescent or lifeless-appearing crea- ture which has little resemblance to either the larva or the parent Insect. It is called a pnpa (Fig. 1146) The pupffi of butterflies are often called chrysalids Flies change to pupa the 1148. Imago of caterpillar hardened skin of the maggot.

Nearly all the larval tis- sues break down and the Insect is practitall> made over, from a crawling larva to a beautiful, flying adult Insect. When the adult is fully formed, it breaks its pupal shroud and emerges to spend a comparatively brief ex- istence as a winged creature. Such Insects are said to undergo a complete metamorphosis, and pass through four strikingly different stages during their life: the egg, the worm-like larva, the quiescent
